hi all.my car has been painted with Matt army paint and was wondering if there was a way to make it shinny.
one way i thought of was to sand it with 1000 grade wet and dry and put some clear on it.
but that seems like to much elbow grease.
is there a easier way.
im not after a a1 finish just a half decent job.
cheers

normal way after spraying is to wet and dry it 1500 grade then use a cutting compound then polish
